The kenevo is the best ebike you can buy in my opinion. Perfect for all duties.

Well, it does help make him through that section but I do also think that it removes the need to ride gracefully. The trail seems fun but part of the beauty is in generating or preserving speed from the backside of jumps. It seems like the suspension is so forgiving that he could completely ignore them and maybe the pedal assistance (guessing, couldn't see him ride from a third person view) also helped him keep his speed through pedaling. I'm by no means against pedal assistance or big suspension, but I do think it would be prettier to look at if ridden smoothly (which a bike with less suspension and no assistance calls for). That said, if his mere goal was to point us at the fun trails Maribor has on offer then of course he did that just fine.

@vinay: I think the pedal assistance limiter would kick in way before he got up to speed. Looks like he's going a fair bit faster than 15mph.

Anyone have any details on his orange Kenevo with the Rockshox Zeb fork up front ???? Claudio and a few other guys seem to have the same bike....orange Kenevo, Grey Zeb fork. Few guys in the Zeb release video have this bike.

Would love a bike check. Come on Claudio.

I can fill you in as I have the same one.... Its for Specialized Soil Searching Ambassadors - IE trail builders only, custom paint. The guys you saw in the Zeb video are the Free Radicals.

@cycling-trivialities: fair play dude. Its an awesome looking bike. I was kinda hoping it was a new 21 model.

Full throttle! Having ridden one of the levo's it was horrible on jumps, so terrible. No thanks.

RJShredz5 (Oct 20, 2020 at 8:53)

Levo is the trail bike, the kenevo is the enduro bike which is supposed to be great for jumping.

madmon (Oct 21, 2020 at 13:27)

I felt like his wheels were screaming "ouch" every landing and it is not from lack of skill even though he was overshooting the landings.

betsie (Oct 21, 2020 at 14:50)

@madmon: The e-lovers on the neg props for stating what I found when riding a bike.
Wouldnt trade my trail bike for an e-bike.

Would have a chipped e-bike though. Tied one that went 30mph+. that was fun

So sick of Claudio's commentary, constantly being negative about whether a rider will be up or down at the next split. Really spoils the excitement that Rob Warner does such a good job of building.

Your negativity is bringing me down also

hahaha you are complaining about a commentator providing race analysis.... you know that its their job right?

If you had just said you were sick of Claudio I think a lot of us agree
